Kate O'Donnell and her police sergeant partner, Harry Barnard enter
dangerous waters when they uncover evidence of a top-level
conspiracy.
On a busy Friday night in 1964, a woman's partially clothed body is
discovered in London's Soho Square. She has been raped and strangled.
With no one reported missing, her identity remains a mystery. Assuming
the victim to be a prostitute, DCI Jackson is inclined to dismiss the
case. Detective Sergeant Harry Barnard disagrees.
Harry's partner Kate meanwhile has been despatched to her native
Liverpool to work on a magazine feature about the city's remarkable
regeneration, timed to coincide with the release of the Beatles' movie,
A Hard Day's Night.
As Harry's investigations point to evidence of a cover-up at the highest
level, Kate's assignment leads her to uncover a darker side to 1960s'
Liverpool - and a possible link to the Soho murder victim. Are she and
Harry getting into something too deep and dangerous for them to handle?
